Title: Crown Brewery, Llangollen
Post by: mayjon on Thursday 30 December 10 17:34 GMT (UK)
A forebear was a brewer in Llangollen and is shown in the 1871 census at the Crown Brewery.   I have been unable to locate the brewery or find out how to access brewery records.

Can anyone help, please?

Hi
Denbighshire Record Office may also be able to assist.
http://www.denbighshire.gov.uk/EC/place&su.nsf/Web/SubjectB?OpenView&Start=1&Count=1000&Expand=12#12

They do have a newspaper article listed under place/subject, catalogued as Llangollen Breweries
DRO NCD/1073 but this is listed as 20th century.

Dear Wilcoxon

Yes - that's him!   

Now I will try and get the report from the Birmingham Daily Post - any idea how, please?

Very many thanks for your help.
